Council approves ordinance trimming designated truck routes, clarifying permissible deviations
Summary
Tooele City adopted Ordinance 2025-17 to remove two residential streets from the designated truck-route map, tighten routing language on the west side and clarify when trucks may deviate for deliveries or construction.
The Tooele City Council on June 4 adopted Ordinance 2025-17, amending city code 10-2-7 to revise designated truck routes for large vehicles. The ordinance removes Pine Canyon and Droubay on the east side from the truck-route designation, tightens routing on the west side and clarifies allowable deviations for deliveries, pickups and construction.
Police Chief Adrian Day said the change responds to complaints about trucks using neighborhood streets where there are no trucking businesses and where trucks have difficulty maneuvering back to a state road. "Removing Pine Canyon and Droubay from the East side of town" will address parking and safety complaints, Day said, and the ordinance also removes the prior option for written permission from the police chief to deviate from routes while retaining limited allowances in section 4 for deliveries and construction.
Councilman Hansen moved approval and Councilwoman Manzion seconded; the council voted unanimously in favor. The amendment also explicitly names Utah and 1100 West on the west side routing to reduce ambiguity, the chief said.
Discussion vs. decision: The council action was a formal ordinance approval. Chief Day framed the change as addressing neighborhood safety and routing clarity; staff will implement the new signage and enforcement consistent with the ordinance.
